Every segment of the affordable car market is full of cars that excel in one department or the other. However, there are some cars that are the proverbial jack of all trades.

The new Hyundai Santro has a lot going for it. It is well priced and has an excellent ride quality and a spacious interior.

The Maruti Vitara Brezza has been the leader of the sub-4-metre SUV segment and not without reason. It offers an excellent package for the price it commands.
